    2018 Ford 3.5L Cyclone v-6 30k miles; blend of RGT and QSFS 5w-20 5k miles

    not really that bad, coming off of the winter months, (well, in SC) but could be a part of it. I do not believe the ethanol free fuel has any bearing on it. Remember, one UOA does not anything make, need a trend to be able to see a problem. Previous UOA fine, one abnormal could be many causes...

    What do you do for weed control?

    The granular weed killers have never worked for me, I use the concentrate and mix a 1 gallon sprayer and usually just spot spray the weeds. Pulling them, well, you may not get all the roots and have to do it again. Better living thru chemicals!

    Coolant Consumption 2019 Nissan Altima

    Especially in cold weather the head gasket will contract and small cracks permit coolant to enter the cylinders and it is burned off upon start up. No indications anywhere this is happening except that you have to add coolant. Had this happen to me on a couple of vehicles. Does not show up in...

    Tell me about recovering from open heart surgery

    I have had three open heart surgeries, 1st one 6 years ago replaced aortic valve, anuerism and one bypass. Last year vavle became infected and had to replace, didn't work so replaced again. So much of recovery depends on how long on a ventilator, my first one was an easy recovery, back to normal...

    Dentist....teeth cleaning

    I have not been in about 1 1/2 years. My last visit, I believe resulted in an infection that destroyed my aortic valve implant and I had to have it replaced again via open heart surgery. About 80% chance it came from the crown I had done even though I took antibiotics. So, avoiding the dentist...

    Do airlines even want to sell flights?

    I agree 100%. Known pricing, not changing every day, better service, better seating. De regulation just became what is best for the bottom line not the customer!

    Fuel taxes and Roads Funding: Michigan is a Mess

    My main complaint here (Chattanooga) is the road system, all back roads except for interstates, every secondary road ( not joking) is in need of repaving. Potholes, large cracks, sinkholes, narrow 2 lane roads with no guardrails (mountain roads). Horrendous. We have huge infrastructure problems...

    Here comes Medicare

    I worked for Medicare for 15 years. Believe what you wish and believe the experts who say it is easy to switch. Ask them what happens if you become a diabetic, oh, that will never happen to anyone! Good luck

    Here comes Medicare

    From, my experience. At some point you will need expensive health care, umlike auto insurance health ins will be used. Advantage plans, pros cheap may include some dental, hearing, etc. Cons, travel, all out of network, must see doc in network, in you go into hospital it is more expensive than...

    For those that advocate 10K miles OCI

    Overall a good video. Not sure I agree with his comments on ATF though. He did not address the issues with DI engines and also fuel dilution. Overall, he recommends to do your homework!

    Downspouts

    Could be a problem with water if the drain went straight down, cannot see the backyard. He should place a drain pan or additional pipe to get the water further away from house at the bottom. Siding needs a refresh though.I have to see a builder that accounts for where the water will flow off of...

    Central AC

    Assuming they use same ductwork I would think a combo A/C/gas furnace would be the easiest except it would replace your existing furnace. For A/C alone they need to put the air handler somewhere (2 story or one) and compressor outside where none exists,. Additional effort then a straight...
